Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream (or flavor of choice)
- 2 cups Cornflakes (crushed)
- 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- to taste Chocolate syrup or caramel sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Scoop ice cream into 4 round balls and place them on a lined baking tray. Freeze them for at least 1 hour, or until they are completely firm.
In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and sweetened shredded coconut (if using).
Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer. Roll each ball in the flour, coating it evenly. Dip it into the egg mixture, then roll it in the cornflake-coconut mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Repeat the egg and cornflake coating step one more time for each ice cream ball, ensuring a thick, even coating. Return the coated ice cream balls to the baking tray and freeze for another 1-2 hours or until very firm.
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower one coated ice cream ball into the hot oil. Fry for 10-15 seconds, just until the coating turns golden brown. Repeat with the remaining ice cream balls, frying one at a time.
Remove the fried ice cream from the oil and drain briefly on a paper towel.
Serve immediately with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or your favorite topping if desired.
